In One Word: Incompetent

A new Pew poll finds: "In the aftermath of the Dubai ports deal, President Bush's approval rating has hit a new low and his image for honesty and effectiveness has been damaged. . . .

"Bush's overall approval measure stands at 33%, the lowest rating of his presidency. . . .

"Bush's personal image also has weakened noticeably, which is reflected in people's one-word descriptions of the president. . . .

"Until now, the most frequently offered word to describe the president was 'honest,' but this comes up far less often today than in the past. Other positive traits such as 'integrity' are also cited less, and virtually no respondent used superlatives such as 'excellent' or 'great' terms that came up fairly often in previous surveys. . . .

"The single word most frequently associated with George W. Bush today is 'incompetent,' and close behind are two other increasingly mentioned descriptors: 'idiot' and 'liar.' All three are mentioned far more often today than a year ago."

In fact, the terms "ass", "jerk", "selfish" and "untrustworthy" are all new additions to Pew's list of top responses, though for some reason "sucks" has actually fallen off the list.

John Harwood writes in the Wall Street Journal: "President Bush and fellow Republicans approach the fall midterm elections facing one political problem above all others: responding to rising public anxiety about Iraq.

"The new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll charts the toll that Iraq has taken on the Bush presidency. The survey shows the president's approval rating falling to 37%, a low for Mr. Bush, with disapproval highest for his handling of the war."

The rest of America is catching up with us. Now if only this was 18 months ago, sigh!

1. 18 months ago would have been wonderful

You wonder if Bush regrets all the cheating done in his name - from unscrupulous lies about Kerry, companies which collected registrations and threw out Democratic one to strategic lack of sufficient machines in Democratic areas. The last 18 months have been a disaster for the country. But,as selfish is one of the words here look how it sets him up for history -incompetent, idiot, liar with ass, jerk, selfish and untrustworthy rising.

2. and this is why we needn't fear

any countermoves they might try regarding Feingold and his censure resolution. The opinion that the president is incompetent is just not going to be changed by any political moves--how do they prove he's not? The facts on the ground, and all that will refute anything they try.

Now he's doing a "Nixon bombs Cambodia" desperation move in Iraq! As if that's the answer! Oh, the humanity.

3. What surprises me here

is that there are more posts on the censure than there are on this offensive. In a way, it's somewhat similar as the country was turning away from the war, there was a lot of talk about getting out, then one evening Nixon announced that as part of getting out he had ordered the invasion and bombing of Cambodia. When this announcement was made there were instantaneous protests at colleges across the country.

Now, it seems very like Vietnam as we are bombing the people we are bringing into a democracy. I hate the RW argument that we lost VN because we didn't fight hard enough or drop enough bombs.
